I’ve recently encountered an issue after attempting to boot my new laptop using a UEFI bootable USB drive. The laptop is a brand-new model with UEFI firmware, but after selecting the USB from the boot menu, it just goes into a black screen and doesn’t load the installation or recovery environment.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Ensured the USB is formatted correctly as GPT and uses a UEFI-compatible boot sector.
Disabled Secure Boot in BIOS settings (tried both ways: enabled and disabled).
Tried different USB ports, but the issue persists.
Does anyone have any advice on what might be causing this, or any settings I might have missed?
